  • May 16th regs

    I stand corrected...the Striper regulations do not change Monday...it is Tuesday May 16th that a 20 inch fish is a legal keeper- not the 15th of May...

    You need a law degree to figure it out
    the maps posted don't match what is written on Dnr's website

      Nearly all of the tributaries (Severn, Magothy, etc.) are all still closed until June 1st as I understand. It is very confusing.

          Note that while the flats are open May 16, the limit is different. Only one fish between 20-26". The normal limit kicks in June 1.

            Indeed... thank you for that detail. I'll edit my post above to include it.
